Defining Spinal Stenosis and Exploring Causes
Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of spaces within the spine, often leading to pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.
This compression can cause various symptoms, including pain, numbness, or weakness in the back, legs, or arms. Several factors contribute to the development of this condition, including aging, arthritis, or spinal injuries.
